Research interests include: The formation kinetics of intermetallic within solders used in electronic assemblies.

Martin K. Anselm, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology Department, joining RIT in 2014. Previously he was the Manager of AREA Consortium at Universal Instruments. His research interest include the formation of kinetics of intermetallic within solders used in electronic assemblies. This interest led Anselm into areas of manufacturing and material properties beyond metallic systems in order to evaluate the behaviors of materials in the context of current electronic manufacturing methods. Currently his research focuses on materials used electronic products and their impact on reliability and their associated defect conditions and root causes. Anselm serves on the Board of Directors for the Surface Mount Technology Association (SMTA) and has been awarded the honor of Speaker of Distinction by that organization.
